A journey through books I have read . . . and the classics I want to read.

I just spent the last hour searching for a list of "100 books you should read before you die" and there are a lot of lists out there. How do I know which one to pick? While pondering this, I decided that for now I would just make a list of the books I have read. I got this idea from someone in my Artists Way workshop. (Thank you. You know who you are!) I am starting with what I have read this year. I might try to tackle the challenge of attempting to remember the ones I have read in previous years but not at almost 2am . . . I really should be sleeping right now . . . and I'm back on topic!

And the list is as follows . . . although if you looked at the pictures at the beginning of this post you would already know what they are . . .

1. Dear John by Nicholas Sparks
2. The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls
3. The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks

I am currently reading Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen. I just started this one last night. . .

Here is how this little book reading journey began. Last night I was in Barnes&Nobles with some friends just browsing books. I came across the shelf in the middle of the isle with the classic books on it. I started reading through some of the titles and realized that I haven't read any of the classics. I decided at that moment that I wanted to read some classic novels. I will make no guarantee that I will read the top 100 but I will read some that are on the top of my list which include: Pride and Prejudice, Little Women, War and Peace, Wuthering Heights, The Art of War, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and The Great Gatsby. There are more that I am sure will be added to this list. I look forward to reading them, if only to say that I did. Anyone who wants to join me on this journey let me know!
